MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 298 [Dreamer’s lead-filled dice]
Chapter 298 [The Dreamer’s Lead-filled Dice]
Probably because the rebel leader "Blooded Blade" Badis has been killed, and the other minions are no longer relevant.
Or maybe they are afraid of Ji Xun's strength.
Lambert, the captain of ten thousand men, chased for a while but failed to catch him, so he gave up.
No one else came after him.
In this way, Ji Xun, Alice and Goron floated in the rapids in the underground river for several hours.
After guessing that they were almost out of the encirclement, they found a water outlet and appeared on the ground again.
On a wild hillside.
Alice, who was all wet, took a few deep breaths and murmured excitedly: "I survived."
He was exhausted from the previous battle, and his lips were slightly pale.
Ji Xun smiled and shook his head, and responded: "I just chose the option that was most likely to survive. Then I got lucky and survived."
After trying his best to kill the fifth-level captain of ten thousand men before, Ji Xun finally confirmed his conjecture: the test of "courage" in this extradimensional space is not to kill the fifth-level captain.
This "Valen City Rebel Camp" tests the courage, strength and wisdom of adventurers.
Before, after clearing such an exciting S plot, he would have felt the ultimate excitement of an intracranial **** after winning the bet.
But this method is useless even if others know about it.
The excitement that I should have experienced is no longer felt.
Even if you know that the extra-dimensional space has the characteristic of testing "courage".
“I am the world” deduces the option that is most likely to survive.
But at this moment, her face showed the excitement and joy of surviving the disaster.
Indispensable.
“There is no certainty.”
Furthermore, you must not only have courage, but also have the strength corresponding to the difficulty of the plot.
Just like Alice, she would find the aftermath of the disaster extremely thrilling.
In his eyes, Ji Xun has completely restored his previous calm and indifferent expression.
Ji Xun himself only felt that "it is indeed so."
Ji Xun's "brave" is because he really dared to risk his life in order to test his conjecture.
At this moment, he also felt a light and joyful feeling in his soul.
Jia Yu said before that after realizing the profound meaning of "I am the world", one's own emotions will be very stable.
Enlightenment has prompted the completion of the main storyline.
Without this incredibly powerful teammate, she knew that she would never have survived this S mission.
There was an uncontrollable sense of joy in her crystal eyes.
Mr. Aragon is right, this person is really powerful.
Alice is also glad that she chose to believe him from the beginning.
That’s all.
Alice couldn't hold back after all, and instead of asking him about his incredible magical skills, she asked curiously: "Mr. Ji Xun, why were you so sure that we can survive just now?"
But at this moment, Ji Xun had another, more wonderful experience.
If he really wants to say what he is sure of, it is still the same: there will definitely be a glimmer of hope in the extradimensional space.
It means that the most dangerous moment has passed.
In a blink of an eye, Alice saw Ji Xun not far away.
It seems that if a "cause" occurs, there will inevitably be a "result".
Looking back at the last moment of the previous battle, the guy seemed to have the certainty that he had control of his destiny.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in the face of the difficult plot obstacles set in the extradimensional space (Lambert the Ten Thousand Captain).
In short.
However, because when the underground river in the mine exploded, a new branch line "The Aftermath of the War" was triggered on Goron, the two did not leave the space immediately.
That picture is deeply engraved in my mind.
He chose his own judgment.
There is nothing that cannot be said about this.
Courage cannot be faked.
Ji Xun now has a clear understanding.
But now, the body is very calm.
But as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Xun's eyes gradually deepened.
The plot of the extra-dimensional space is like a small microcosm of life's destiny. The joy brought by controlling the plot makes the soul seem to be "sublimated".
"oh."
Alice listened thoughtfully to Ji Xun's words.
Ji Xun didn’t want to explain much, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at Goron wearing a [Hero's Cloak] from the corner of his eye.
This key NPC survived the crisis, and the aura between his eyebrows was completely different.
Moreover, what surprised Ji Xun was that when he was being chased while floating in the underground river, this guy used a secret method of gravity in a panic.
Ji Xun is extremely sure that it is the mysterious magic technique "Inducing the Gods to Fall".
He was also surprised. This secret method is obviously the exclusive secret method of the "9-Destruction Sequence" natural disaster path. Why can the heroes of the miracle path learn it?
And I just asked Alice.
Ji Xun confirmed that Aragorn, a descendant of Goron, was also proficient in this secret technique.
This allowed him to deduce his thoughts.
He thought about the origin of his secret technique.
In the original "Third Holy Grail War", the hero Galen was not a card master, but a hero, and he knew this secret technique.
so.
What is the connection between the hero sequence and the natural disaster sequence?
Ji Xun and the other three rested for a while, and without much delay, they found a way and rushed back towards Wallen City.
There is another teammate, Allen, who is still in the city, but I don’t know if he survived.
Ji Xun and the two also wanted to follow Goron to see if they could delve deeper into the plot related to the slave collar key.
However, Warren City was blocked by the military due to the war, and all outsiders were prohibited from entering.
It was not until the next day that the three of them got mixed up with reporters from various newspapers and entered the city.
The good news is that Alan is still alive.
Similar to the previous plan, he rescued Miss Manyia, the daughter of the Warren City grain storage officer, and then survived the military roundup in the city.
Also completed his A-level main quest.
And the battle ended more neatly than expected.
Because the military ambush plan was detonated by Ji Xun in advance, the rebel army chose to break out, so there was no fierce siege and street fighting according to the original plot.
Although the rebels fled a lot, the military's actions also achieved the expected results.
Soon, the accurate news in the newspapers came out.
The famous general Marcus led the 400,000 city-state coalition troops to encircle and suppress the city with great success.
The rebel leader Badis and most of the backbone members were almost all beheaded.
Huge casualties can be expected.
However, Ji Xun was more concerned about another piece of news.
· Newspapers reported that the number of rebels who came to Warren City to rob this time was nearly one million, but the actual number of combatants was less than 20%, and many of them were refugees and slaves who could not survive.
So much so that the military did not receive too fierce resistance during the roundup.
Then they also captured nearly 300,000 "rebels" alive.
This is what Ji Xun cares about.
The famous general Marcus Rao knew that most of the 300,000 rebels who were captured alive were low-level civilians, so he ordered them all to be killed.
From the perspective of ordinary people, they would feel that the rebels deserved their death.
Even some kind-hearted people will only think that Marcus is too murderous.
However, Ji Xun deduced something else from these fate lines.
He has now completely seen through, there are too many traces of human manipulation behind this uprising war.
This entrapment and killing may involve political games, or may be the pursuit of greater military glory.
But it may also involve the extraordinary path!
Before entering the space, Toad asked him to observe the laws of war.
Ji Xun could observe, and then he noticed that war was also one of the laws of the universe.
He previously thought that war was a political product.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
The whole war is like a prepared ceremony.
Ji Xun is still unable to understand the purpose of this "ritual"-like existence.
But he thought of something else.
Ji Xun thought of how the new king of Oran had deliberately created terror to understand his own law of fear.
Isn’t it also a ritual-like process?
So, could war be deliberately created by some people as a way to gain understanding of high-level laws?
He remembered the "Third Holy Grail War" mentioned when he was chatting with Jia Yu in Hong Lou.
At that time, Mushroom Head used his ability to deduce that the war between humans and demons caused by the fight for the Holy Grail was like a sacrificial ceremony required by the gods.
Only pain can make people believe in gods.
In reality, the Silver Moon Sect that Ji Xun came into contact with liked to sacrifice humans to gain the ability to communicate with the gods.
It’s roughly the same reason.
Now that he saw the famous general Marcus "killing 300,000 rebels", Ji Xun confirmed that suspicion.
This was not just a massacre.
This is more like a **** sacrifice arranged through war.
Some people who create wars can sense some high-level supernatural power in this **** ritual.
As to what exactly it is.
Ji Xun doesn’t know either.
But he realized that the toad was right and he needed to understand it himself.
This is a law of the universe.
When he understood it, he really touched that level.
Ji Xun and the others were delayed for most of the day in Wallen City to ensure the safety of "Gron", the future hero, and the side mission was also completed.
Unfortunately, the main plot has ended this time.
Space Will did not give them any more time to stay.
The three of them failed to go to the Rune Highlands to find the legendary Master Gamil.
However, Ji Xun has already explored the relevant plot to the extreme within his capabilities.
Theoretically speaking,
There are already relevant props in the settlement card pool.
The rest depends on luck.
In a room in Warren City, Ji Xun and three others were preparing to leave.
The plot ends and the settlement enlightenment also appears.
“Congratulations on clearing ‘Warren City Rebel Camp’”
"Space exploration degree is 87%, fixed reward is 90%; additional exploration is 44%, A-level evaluation is obtained, rare card drawing +30%" "Wise and Brave Unparalleled: High-level card drawing probability +7%"
“Hidden plot explorer: high-level card drawing probability +9%”
“Born to Death: Extra Rare Card Drawing Probability +5%”
“Teammates with tacit understanding: Rare card drawing bonus +4%”
“Insighter: Special card probability +3%”
“Rare Survivor: Rare Card Drawing Bonus +1%”
"Complete S special plot 'Breakout'*1; A+ hidden plot 'Heroic Decision'*1; A-level plot 'Survivors of Encirclement'*1; B-level plot missions 'The traitor in Wallen City', 'Breaking the Archon' Mansion ''Aftermath of the War', C-level missions 'Break the City', 'Granary Information'; D-level missions 'Kill Knight Captain Jim'*1 treasure chest rare probability +26%, total reward +30%."
“Comprehensive evaluation is S, and you will get a treasure chest*4 for clearance and settlement”
It was almost as expected by Ji Xun.
Having experienced so many different-dimensional spaces, those behaviors can increase the probability of drawing cards, and the rules are basically clear.
Few adventurers survive, the plot is highly explored, and the difficulty is high, challenging difficult BOSS
basically increases the probability of drawing cards.
The following is the basic card drawing probability: "3% black iron, 50% silver, 41% gold, 7% dark gold, 1% special"
The fourth-level alien space can pass the main mission, which is basically a guaranteed silver card.
Ji Xun looked at the four settlement treasure boxes that appeared in front of him and opened them directly.
“Open the customs clearance treasure box and get the special item ‘a mysterious note’”
“Open the treasure chest and get the dark gold card ‘Summoning Card·Lava Giant’”
“Open the customs clearance treasure chest and obtain the golden mechanical blueprint ‘Giant IV Generation Magic Energy Heavy Armor Mechanical Baffle Design’”
“Open the treasure chest to get the special item ‘Dreamer’s lead-filled dice’”
Ji Xun looked at the contents pulled out of the first four treasure boxes, his eyes gleaming slightly.
Things are a little surprising.
【Summon Card·Lava Giant】
Detailed explanation: The fifth-level elemental summoning card is a card that injects mana and summons two lava giants with super high defense and magic attack to assist in attacks;
This is the spell used by the fifth-level captain.
The lava giant condensed from the elements of earth and fire has very strong fighting power.
Although it is of little use to Ji Xun, it is also of high value.
As for the mechanical blueprints, I have encountered military armor on the battlefield before.
It is normal for these two things to be taken out.
However, when Ji Xun looked at the manuscript that looked like a piece of scratch paper, he felt strange in his heart: "Treasure map? Or what?"
【A mysterious note】
Detailed explanation: A sketch drawn by Master Gamil, like a map pointing to a certain coordinate in the Rune Highlands;
Special cards drawn with a 1% probability will never be bad.
Most importantly, it has the name "Master Gamil" on it.
This is the only name that appears in this plot.
But this did not prevent Ji Xun from knowing that he must be a big figure in history.
According to the characteristics of the extradimensional space, such legendary figures are usually involved in some important historical plots.
"Rune Heights" is a place name of the Talon Dynasty.
Original sites can also be found in the Old World.
Ji Xun thought that he would probably know when he could go and have a look.
The fourth item is a bit interesting.
The super high probability of drawing cards obtained by the super high evaluation also resulted in two special items being drawn.
Ji Xun also saw it for the first time.
【Dreamer's lead-filled dice】
Detailed explanation: disposable items, cheating gambling tools that come true, and a relic that involves a trace of the law of fate; imagine what you want in your mind, throw the dice, the higher the points, the higher the grade of the item you get (wishing for contact in the extra-dimensional space If you pass related plot items, the probability will be higher); on the contrary, you may get nothing;
I don’t want to wait to see what the three dice are used for.
On the sidelines, Alan lamented with a pale face: "It's over. I rated it A-, but after three opportunities, I didn't get the collar key."
In a blink of an eye, he asked Alice on the side: "Sister Alice, what about you?"
ˆ “.”
Alice also looked dim as she listened.
Silence replaced her answer.
Originally, the main plot of this extra-dimensional space has very little connection with the slave collar key.
It’s normal if you don’t draw.
However, if they cannot draw, they will still be controlled by the collar after they go out, and sooner or later they will be caught by the Hydralisk Legion.
Thinking of this, both Alice's expressions were ugly.
Oh, that’s right too.
She was originally a war slave who was bound to die. From the first moment she entered the space, she had the consciousness to try her luck.
Now that there is no chance of survival, it’s time to accept your fate.
Already tried our best.
However, Alice thought of something and looked at Ji Xun out of the corner of her eye.
She knows that this teammate's evaluation is definitely higher than hers, and the probability is definitely higher than hers.
The calm heart suddenly became anxious again.
Ji Xun looked at those two pairs of expectant eyes and knew what they wanted to ask. He shook his head: "I didn't get it either."
Hearing this, Alice's eyes dimmed instantly.
However, before she could despair, Ji Xun took out the three dice he had just received and said, "But, I got this thing."
Alice looked at it and thought it was not a necklace key, so it would be meaningless to draw anything.
However, looking at the introduction of the dice, hope immediately burned in her heart: "This"
Allen was outspoken and said excitedly: "With this [dice], we can make a wish key!"
ˆ “.”
Alice was also happy, but then her eyes held back a look of sadness.
She used her peripheral vision to signal Allen not to continue speaking.
Although I see hope.
But she also saw the value of the dice.
If you use this dice to make a wish for the key, whether it comes true or not, it means that Ji Xun is giving up a treasure.
For example, he could have wished for [space teleportation card], [death straw man] and other special cards that are extremely difficult to produce in extra-dimensional spaces.
Once drawn, it is a real life-saving thing.
It is more valuable than a key that may have nothing to do with him.
Alice is not selfish in thinking that for the key, she can make others pay such a high price for nothing.
However, she never imagined that for Ji Xun, many things were more important than life-saving equipment.
Ji Xun certainly thought about using dice to draw something he needed.
But since you promised toad, of course you have to do it.
As for the [Space Teleportation Card], those cards are the best for him, and if he doesn’t have them, he won’t force them.
For him, there is no point in taking risks now that he has a way out.
Looking at Alice's troubled expression, Ji Xun also felt that this teammate was pretty good and smiled slightly.
Looking at that smile, Alice was also startled.
Before she could sort out the complicated thoughts in her mind, she watched Ji Xun take out a gray cloth cloak and put it on her body.
oh.
The cloak is of course the [Hero’s Cloak].
When Goron says this to Ji Xun, it becomes a reward item that can be taken out of the space.
This relic was most likely damaged or disappeared over the long years before it could be taken out of space.
When you add Qi to transport things, no one can say what the effect will be.
It just so happens that dice are also relics of fate.
BUFF stacking is better than nothing.
Ji Xun put on his cloak and looked relaxed, as if he threw three dice casually.
Alice and Allen on the side were extremely nervous.
Looking closely at the dice.
Ji Xun recalled in his mind all the clues in the extradimensional space that might be related to the "slave collar key", and then made a wish.
Three dice rotated in the void, and in a blink of an eye, a "one point" appeared.
At this point, Alice and Allen made a sound.
The number of points cannot be smaller.
However, Ji Xun was very calm.
Because at this moment, he seemed to see the teasing of fate in his eyes.
When he saw this, he had already deduced the ending.
There can only be two possibilities: either extremely bad or excellent.
Immediately, I looked at the other two dice and stopped. The second one was also "one point".
Alice's breathing almost stagnated due to nervousness.
However.
At this moment when time seemed to pause, the third one stopped rotating.
is also a big “point”!
Leopard!
I don’t know whether it was Ji Xun’s good luck or the luck blessed by the cloak that resulted in such a big number.
The dice are transformed into rewards.
A card with a simple key pattern appeared in front of him.
Alan was already dancing excitedly, speaking incoherently: "This, this."
Since Alice looked at the card, her mouth opened slightly, unable to hide her surprise: I got it! He. He really helped!
【Gamil's Master Key】
Detailed explanation: A spell card made by the legendary craftsman Gamil, which can break almost all spell locks;
“It’s really a good draw”
Ji Xun looked at the key and sighed that he was lucky. At the same time, a deep thought appeared in his eyes.
He chose to make a wish and draw the key.
It’s not just because of the agreement with the toad.
He also saw a series of destiny lines extending out from the key.
At present, the power of the Airel Empire is unimaginable.
The Eastern Continent Card Master Federation has no ability to resist at all.
And people like the Airel Empire now need a lot of cannon fodder to explore the Old Continent, so even if they catch them alive, they will most likely not be killed, but will be used as war slaves to open up wasteland.
The slave collar is the most important means of slavery.
Ji Xun always had a hunch that this [Master Key] would be of great use in the future.
Perhaps he can use it himself.
